Circuit Thevenin

AI Thread Summary

To find the Thevenin equivalent circuit, the voltage across the load (Vth) was calculated as 10 V by summing -10 V and 20 V. The Thevenin resistance (Rth) was determined to be 6 Ohms. The calculations appear to be correct, but there is uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the results. Further verification or confirmation from peers may be beneficial. The discussion highlights the importance of double-checking calculations in circuit analysis.

Homework Statement

[PLAIN]http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9092/asdrc.jpg
given this circuit find the thevenin equivalent

the 4 ohm resistor is the load

The Attempt at a Solution

at first I found Vth which is Vth = -10+20 = 10 V

then i found Rth which is 6 Ohms

but I am not sure if I am correct

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
